Pinky and Polly

Well, there's just one more day left at work for me and school for the children and then we have 7 weeks of play, play, playtime in my bubble gum pink sewing room!!!!!

Lots of you guessed exactly what I was getting excited about and here are some updated photos after my fab neighbour Malcolm and his son laid the lino, built in some cupboards and work bench, put up shelves, rebuilt a desk donated by a friend and cut down a cheap table! At the weekend my friend's husband is coming to replace the lighting, put in a heater and about 6 double power sockets!!!!

Weeeheeeeeeeee! I'm so excited!

The children are excited about coming and being creative in my new playroom.

And Mr Locket is rather excited about all my craft stuff being moved out of the dining room!

And you know I said that my next door neighbour is really fab?

Look what I found when I got back from work and went to inspect the new developments........

And just to show you that I am worthy of having a dedicated sewing room to play in, here's what I made yesterday on my day off:

I started Miss Polly at about 3pm yesterday and worked right through til midnight only stopping to eat some supper so that she was ready in time for my lovely mother in law's birthday today! Fortunately Mr Locket had the day off too so he was there to do the school run, make the children's tea and all the other million jobs!

My M.I.L used to be a nurse - a midwife in fact - but also, as some of you already know, she was rushed into hospital last week with heart problems which was a real shock to all of us. So Miss Polly has gone to stay to keep an eye on her for us.

But just so she is well prepared she has a reversible apron so that she can help Granny Biscuit indulge in her favourite past-time of washing and cleaning!!

all trades-people should give their invoices like this - how can we make that happen? AND!!!!!! TOO EXCITING!! your own play space - I am really pleased for you ! Enjoy getting it exactly as you want it - that's the best part and then the hours of fun - wow!!

So sweet, love the doll! Congratulations on the opening of your new pink sewing room, lucky you. I love having my children in my space with me but sometimes I can't find my projects under their projects, must sort out a system some day.I'm sure you'll create many little beauties in your new space, enjoy!

I'm just wondering what your new pink room used to be? Because I, too, sew in the dining room. When company comes for dinner we have to eat in the living room. :>} Love your dolly, and best wishes to Granny B.
